District to adopt Public Information Act nonbusiness days after HB3033 change
Summary
Staff explained a proposed Public Information Act nonbusiness day calendar tied to House Bill 3033 (effective 2023); the board was told the calendar must be approved by trustees and will be returned on the consent agenda next month.
District staff told trustees they are proposing designated nonbusiness days for responses to Public Information Act (PIA) requests under recent state legislation (referred to in the presentation as House Bill 3033, effective in 2023). The change allows districts to designate up to 10 additional nonbusiness days beyond federal holidays, which affects the 10‑day response period for public records requests.
Staff said the proposed nonbusiness day calendar is included in the board packet and will be reported on now and placed on the consent agenda for formal approval next month. The rationale is to align PIA nonbusiness days with the academic calendar (for example, spring break) so the district can account for school closures when calculating response deadlines.
